Verdict - Full performance and a great display

As with the larger Strix SCAR 18, the gaming performance of the smaller Strix SCAR 16 is excellent, especially as there is no loss of performance compared to the 18-inch model. Even so, its performance advantage over the RTX 5080 Laptop isn't huge, especially in the laptop's native WQHD resolution, and if you can't benefit from its larger VRAM in any other way, then we recommend going for the configuration with the RTX 5080 Laptop. The device's mini LED display is impressive, offers extensive features and operating modes, achieved very good values during our test and features precise color profiles straight out of the box.

The quality of its case is good and it has extensive lighting elements, but unfortunately, it's made entirely of plastic and its black surfaces are very susceptible to dirt marks. The laptop's maintenance options are good and you can access its components easily—plus, it already has Thunderbolt 5. Most of the ports are on the left side of the device and none are on the back.

All-in-all, the new ROG Strix SCAR 16 is an impressive gaming laptop with powerful components. Compared to the regular ROG Strix G16, the Strix SCAR 16 benefits above all from its mini LED panel—but this comes at a price of around $550 more.

Case & connectivity

In general, the laptop's case design, with its black surfaces and AniME vision display on the lid, is the same as the larger SCAR 18. Its quality is good (both build and stability) but given the price point, you might expect to see some metal. Moreover, its black surfaces are extremely susceptible to dirt marks. On the flip side, its lighting options are extensive and the new wraparound LED strip looks impressive.

Asus has installed two modern Thunderbolt 5 ports and enough USB ports, although all the ports are located on its two sides (more on the left). The device's 1080p camera (without a mechanical shutter) does its job and its WLAN module already supports the Wi-Fi 7 standard. During our test, its transfer rates were stable and fast. It's not a Copilot+ laptop, but it supports the webcam's Studio Effects and live subtitling.

Maintenance

To unlock the base plate, all you have to do is push a slider. It couldn't be easier and on the inside, you can access the two RAM slots, two M.2 2280 SSDs, battery and the fans. However, the WLAN module is soldered on.

Sustainability

Asus has provided no information on the device's CO₂ footprint or environmental certifications. Its packaging consists almost entirely of cardboard.

Input devices - Comfortable keyboard

The 16-inch version of the Strix SCAR does without a number pad, but otherwise features the same comfortable typing experience as the larger SCAR 18. As a replacement, a number pad can be displayed on the ClickPad. This feels nice and smooth and emits muffled, high-quality mechanical clicks. The keyboard backlighting can be adjusted individually for each key, but can't be activated by a sensor.

The ClickPad can be used as a number pad.

Display - Mini LED at 240 Hz

While the Strix G16 is equipped with an IPS panel, the Strix SCAR 16 still has a matte mini LED panel (2,560 x 1,600 pixels, 240 Hz). We reported on the extensive features of this panel in our review of the larger SCAR 18 and overall, its picture quality is simply outstanding. Its response times are fast and although PWM flickering is present, it's at an extremely high frequency of 20 kHz.

In SDR mode, its brightness is more than 770 cd/m² and in HDR mode, we even noted over 1,400 cd/m². However, its black level isn't 0 in SDR mode (only in HDR mode), but its contrast ratio is nevertheless very high. Asus also offers very accurate color profiles for the P3/sRGB color spaces straight out of the box, and we were unable to reduce the display's deviations even further with our own calibration. Local dimming can be deactivated, so the panel is also suitable for image editing without any restrictions.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
8.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 4 ms rise
8.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 4.4 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 21 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.7 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5 ms rise
7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 2 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 17 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.3 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

20555 Hz

≤ 100 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 20555 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 20555 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8437 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Processor - Core Ultra 9 275HX

Intel's new high-end Core Ultra 9 275HX processor can almost reach its full potential in the Strix SCAR 16 thanks to its high power limits, coming just ahead of the 16-inch competitors in all CPU benchmarks. It was only 9% ahead of the old SCAR 16, while only the larger ROG Strix SCAR 18 was slightly faster still. In addition, its performance remained very stable.

GPU performance

Our test device uses the new GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop with 24 GB VRAM (Advanced Optimus). It is the 175-watt version (150 watts + 25 watts Dynamic Boost), and its benchmark results were very good. We noted no disadvantage here compared to the larger ROG Strix SCAR 18.

Its performance is similarly good when gaming, although the 5090 Laptop couldn't yet show its strengths in our standard 1080p tests. In QHD resolution, the 5090 Laptop almost always outperformed the 5080 Laptop, but as we saw in our GPU analysis, the 5090 Laptop is particularly suitable for 4K resolution. If you only want to play on the device's internal display and won't benefit from the additional VRAM in any other way (e.g. for video editing), then the RTX 5080 Laptop is perfectly adequate.

Emissions & energy management

Noise emissions

The laptop's cooling consists of a big vapor chamber and three fans. We would always recommend using Quiet mode for simple tasks, as the fans are then often deactivated. In Turbo mode, on the other hand, we noted a constant background noise of 29 dB(A). When gaming, it also quickly reached a loud 53.6 dB(A). The rivals get a little louder, but here, too, you can't really avoid headphones. There were no other electronic noises coming from our test device.

Temperature

The laptop's surfaces stay super cool under low load and there were no restrictions when gaming during our test, as we only measured slightly more than 45 °C in the back area of the underside. Even so, the keyboard in particular stayed a lot cooler. During the stress test, the processor and graphics card levelled off at 50 and 175 watts respectively.

Speakers

Its stereo speakers do a good job overall and are perfectly adequate for videos or some music. However, the laptop's loud fans get in the way when gaming anyway.

Power consumption

The ROG Strix SCAR 16 is by no means a frugal laptop and its mini LED panel requires a lot of power, especially at high brightness levels. During the stress test, we briefly measured a maximum of 370 watts, which then quickly leveled off at around 310 watts. You can expect around 290 watts when gaming, which is why the supplied 380-watt power supply unit is definitely sufficient in size. Its standby consumption of 2.3 watts (despite deactivated lighting) is too high.

I grew up with modern consumer electronics and my first computer was a Commodore C64, which encouraged my interest in building my own systems. I started working as a review editor for Notebookcheck during my dual studies at Siemens. Currently, I am mainly responsible for dealing with business laptops and mobile workstations. It’s a great experience to be able to review the latest devices and technologies and then compare them with each other.

Originally from Scotland, I grew up and lived in Germany until I completed my high school qualifications before moving back to Scotland to complete my university studies. Growing up bilingual led me to form a close relationship with the English and German languages, often working in the fields of teaching and translation. Most of my childhood was shaped by playing around on new consoles, computers and gadgets and getting to grips with the new craze of the internet and smartphones. This interest has stayed with me well into adulthood. Nowadays, I live in Glasgow and work as a freelance translator and digital media coordinator. I have been translating for Notebookcheck since early 2023.
